David Beckham says England's World Cup progress is more important to him than breaking Peter Shilton's England cap record.

Former captain Becks, currently on 115 caps, says he is not targeting Shilton's record of 125 England appearances and he simply wants to be involved with each squad to help the team.

The LA Galaxy midfielder, who will miss Saturday's friendly with Brazil to play for his club side, said: "My number one priority is not breaking records, my number one priority is being in every squad possible.

"I'm on 115 (caps) but it's not the most important thing for me, I'm not counting each game. Of course I'd love to be up there with Peter Shilton but at the end of the day the most important thing is the team.

"It's not important how many caps I get, it's important how far England go in the World Cup."
